[Hindsight](https://github.com/vectorize-io/hindsight) replaces it with automated extraction and auto-recall: every conversation is captured, facts and entities are extracted in the background, and relevant context is injected before every response automatically. One plugin install, three commands, no Docker. +## TL;DR + - OpenClaw's built-in memory is file-based -- markdown files on disk with SQLite vector search. It works, but the agent has to decide what to remember. Hindsight automates the entire pipeline. - Hindsight is open source and runs locally by default. Your conversations, extracted knowledge, and memory store never leave your machine unless you choose otherwise. - One plugin install, three commands to set up. The `hindsight-embed` daemon bundles the full memory engine (API + PostgreSQL) into a single process.
